Cycling Groups.

Our Hostel sits on the route of the famed Sean Kelly Cycle. You have a choice of the 160km or the 100km route and some or all the climbs at Mahon Falls and Seskin Hill. Both routes are permanently marked so it is no harder than choosing route 1 or route 2. With sports changing rooms and showers you can be guaranteed that none of your group will be left waiting for a shower and we have drying facilities. A favourite of many cycle clubs is to cycle from their home base to Ballymacarbry on a Friday Evening do the Sean Kelly Route on Saturday and head home on Sunday with members who would have brought a car. The Sean Kelly Routes are marked on OS 74 & 75. Our hostel has a kitchen which can cater for a full house, but we also have the option of a caterer that will come in to provide meals. The hostel is within walking distance from two pubs, shop and post office.
